Looking for The Best Male Incontinence Products? Learn Top Styles and Selections
Todd is working in his garage on a sunny spring day. Todd finds pleasure in organizing his tools and outdoor equipment. He spends time working in his garage before his family comes over for Father's Day. Todd sees a red Toyota Camry drive up to the street and hears a beep from his daughter. He waves as he puts down his materials to greet her. One would never know Todd manages urinary incontinence.
The truth is incontinence is common and can happen to anyone. John Hopkins Medicine states that 25 million adult Americans experience incontinence. Nerve damage, an enlarged prostate, or injury cause incontinence in men (Nia.Nih.gov).
What about bowel incontinence?
Bowel leakage can result from spinal cord injuries, rectal problems, and other issues (MayoClinic.Org). Incontinence management starts with talking with a healthcare professional. Talk with a doctor to investigate the best action plan for your situation. While you discuss options with a healthcare professional, use absorbent products.
Tips for Shopping for Male Incontinence Products
When shopping, men should consider the appropriate style for their body and output. Adult diapers are known as tab-style briefs. Tabs allow for one to adjust as needed around the waist. A man can adjust the fit on the frontal landing zone. Pull-ons are like regular underwear, except they are disposable. They have absorbent material in the front and rear of the product. There is no way to adjust the fit, but choosing the right size matters. The elastic waistband stays close to the body.
Bladder and Bowel Incontinence Products
Bladder and Bowel incontinence products can come in various styles. Briefs and pull-ons can help contain odors and bowel movements. But, briefs with a plastic exterior help with odor containment. In other words, the plastic material better seals odors. Let us take a deeper dive into the specific incontinence products.
Supreme Tab-Style Briefs
Men who want to feel secure outside the house should consider Supreme Briefs. Supreme Briefs offer up to 8 hours of protection. Refastenable tape tabs allow men to adjust the brief for the ultimate fit. Elastics in the waistband give a closer fit regardless of mobility level. Supreme are all-in-one briefs offering premium protection and comfort.
